I hope not, the animation is awful. Like Tokyo Ghoul, there's no reason not to just read the manga instead.

nielsm posted:Meanwhile, the 6-mat-room invaders ("rokujouma no shinryakusha") series is actually turning out okay. I like the fact that it's focusing on the competition over the room instead of setting up a harem like you'd expect. For now. I mean, you know it's there, creeping just outside the frame like an unstoppable cosmic horror, but for now I can pretend it's not.

Toradora dub is up on Crunchyroll. I had no idea that they were going to steam that. Nice surprise.

I might have to give it a second look if it is at least not yet blatant harem bait and actually moderately funny. Because it sure looks like it's a harem bait.

Animation aside, RWBY is great when the characters don't talk. I only bring it up because Akame Ga Kill has the same problem.

Sure as heck isn't good direction because it's shot like a video game cutscene instead of like something meant to be watched. e: As for the Akame Ga Kill comparison, at least that show is shocking with its message that the 1% are terrible people who deserve to be brutally murdered! RWBY has an anti-racism message that's so hamfisted it makes the way the Tales of- games handle racism look like a fine work of art.

Aleksei Vasiliev posted:A singularity of terrible sounds pretty impressive, enough for me to pick it up. I mean, it could be educational in that it is probably the worst professionally produced animated show, but there's really no redeeming qualities to it and if you shouldn't attempt to make it beyond the first episode. Like, it'd make a great punishment/mod challenge review in TVIV.

People keep telling me the fight scenes are good, but the continuity is often nonsensical between shots, and the animation is floaty as hell. The show spends more energy trying to choreograph 'badass' fight moves instead of making any battles have urgency or tension. The best/worst part is that they took an advantage of CG in that you can make really nice intricate backgrounds without having to redraw them for different angles/cuts, and instead just pump out GoogleSketchup-level backgrounds with even less personality than an IKEA showroom.

Didn't the lead animator, like, skip out on visiting his dying mother in the hospital to work on that poo poo show? Wonder how she feels about that.

Didn't they refuse to use actual 3D animation software and made it in a static model maker instead, because that's what the chief animator at roosterteeth was used to using for halo videos?

I was more talking about how in both shows the characters spend their time as one-dimensional caricatures getting into anime hijinx when they're not being badass demon hunters/assassins. And I honestly stopped watching RWBY when the faunes thing was introduced so if it gets worse than that, welp

So uhhh... I think it's safe to declare Rail Wars the trashiest show of the season by a wide margin. I also don't think it is ever going to acquire a plot or be about anything other than butts. It's barely even about trains.

I haven't seen the show, but video game cutscenes are usually shot extremely lazily, just medium shots of whatever character is talking with occasional pans across the environment for no reason, as opposed to movies or TV where it has to actually be interesting to watch.

Yeah you said it better than I could have, and you didn't have to inflict it upon yourself to make that statement (I feel like in this particular case the environment pans are so they can show that they did render the entire room!)

It has some cool fights and scenes, good music, a potentially interesting setting that is poorly explained, a large and reasonably varied cast most of whom it actually does things with, and is a bad show based on a light novel series that is apparently way too long for its own good. I enjoyed it, but I also have terrible taste. It does so drat many things that odds are you can find some aspect of it that you like, but that likely won't be enough to outweigh the things you don't like unless you have very low standards. It also has a Rail Wars-level love of boobs and butts. chumbler fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Jul 27, 2014 |

Macross thread hit the archives  quote:Harmony Gold USA announced on Friday that it will release its 1985 Robotech animated television series with the 1982 Super Dimension Fortress Macross television anime on DVD. Lionsgate Home Entertainment will release Robotech The Classic Collection - Volume 1 exclusively through online retailer Amazon on September 23. Yay  Well, yay for the originals, I don't give a crap about the Robotech version. (even if I still tend to think of the Valkyries as Veritechs)
